Kyoto hotels in Minami

Cons: The room was a little too small, although I'm quite tall. (We stayed in their small double room, 1 bed.)

Cons: Children were using the onsen as a swimming pool when I went. Not very relaxing. No staff around to stop this. That was the only negative.

Cons: It’s close to Kyoto station but a bit far from the main hot spots further north. Convenient to get to fushimi inari though

Cons: Nothing.

Cons: Nothing

Cons: Rooms are very small. Little room to move..but everything you needed in the small space..a bit far from main areas..

Cons: It was a little bit challenging to turn the air conditioner on (remote in Japanese) but we figured it out no problem.

Cons: It was a bit dusty in certain places, also the bed was very hard.

Cons: I wish there could be more hanging hooks for towels/clothes in the bathroom. Having only one is not as functional for two people in the room.

Cons: Ceanliness was poor. Toilet was leaking on the floor and it was obvious the floor wasn't cleaned daily. We were out all day and upon returning, we saw the bathroom wasn't cleaned. Also, we got a cab to take us to a nearby laundromat and then Kyoto station. We showed them the map the hotel passes out to guests. The taxi driver said he knew how to get there. He took us the opposite direction. After driving for about 8 min, I stopped him and told him he's going the wrong way. Thank goodness for GPS and smartphones. He had one too but couldn't figure how to get us to where we wanted. He ended up taking us back to the hotel and asking us to pay him the $11 on the meter. I told him it wasn't fair since he never took us where we wanted to go. He called the porter who insisted we pay the taxi. Even though I explained the situation, the porter took the taxi's story that I never gave the address. He heard my story and took the taxi's. We told him he picked us up from the hotel too and he still said we should pay. I told him I'm not paying and that I would walk to my destination. He insisted I give my name and room number. That was the worst hotel experience I've ever had. Sad...

Cons: The mattress is as firm as it gets. I had difficulty sleeping on my side or back. The hotel configuration is not suitable if your room is situated far from the elevator. It seems the elevator is at one end of hotel and our room at the opposite end. Hotel is U-shaped and we walked liked 200 meters to the elevators.

Cons: I had nasal sensory overload at this hotel. Between the smoking room right by the front desk (where one leaves the key), cleaning products in the elevator, chemically personal products and room that smelled whenever we ran the ac and fogged up otherwise, it was too much. The exhaust from the buses would come in when we opened the window on the street side. Definitely cheaper products are used here.
